Why don't you let me know when you can jump in a gas powered anything with over 200k and tow a 12,000 lb load 75-80MPH across the US and make it.........my cummins did.:stirpot:

Scary .. especially anything american made... after 100k the rest of the truck starts to get loose and fall apart..

"Oh my---So thats what happenes with the pin comes out ?"
Actually it can be worse than that.
It can happen to 12's & 24's alike.
The odds may be less, but is it worth it?
If it happens to you, you will be

At yourself for not fixing it.
After I bought mine I brought it home and tore it down.

Your stoned if you believe that.

It is very common on trucks as new as 2001. As for it not falling out in 250k, I would be more concerned about it with high miles.:;

Sorry not stoned, but thanks for the info

I wouldn't say its "common" rather, it has happened....

Seems rather silly to not spend $60 and few hours of labor to avoid a repair that can easilly exceed $2,000. But to each their own.

I've heard that if I have an '02, I don't need to worry about this... correct?

Okay. 3 guesses as to what this repair is for.

it's very rare. And up untill recently we thought 02's were safe. But we were proven wrong.

The tab is actually just a couple bucks. And it's easy to do yourself.

well it definitely wasn't my idea.. I like it better then the tab though.. I have a bolt going across the dowel pin instead of a thin piece of sheetmetal. aka jig method.
